A plane colliding with the South Tower at 9:59am, on September 11, 2001, would become the first terror attack watched in real-time by millions of people around the world. News anchors struggled to maintain composure. New York, and more broadly, the United States, was under attack. 

The north tower continued to burn. Images and video footage were broadcast on every news channel. For a generation, those images would become imprinted on our psyches. We watched as the buildings collapsed, thousands of people still inside them.

In a nearby hospital, stood an Australian woman named Liz. For her, it was an otherwise normal day at work. That all changed when she heard an emergency siren.
